From Coach Branch 
"There was so much uncertainty at the beginning of the season that you just took things one day at a time, but lately it's been a since of normalcy. It feels really typical right now where our training and our focus is leading into the Big 12 Tournament." 
 
"Our training has been great, that's been an advantage for us being off last weekend being able to train and refine things technically. We got to bring that confidence with us and expect a lot out of ourselves. Those individuals need to expect to go there and wrestle their best."
